[Intro]
Am C
G Am
You taught me that anger could be useful You taught me that pain was never my
fault
[Verse 1]
Am
The streets are empty as shit, And we just ride them like ghosts,
In the place where we live, We've got no where to go
C
Pushbikes on the road, We take flight with the crows, The night sky above and
tarmac below us
G
The city lights are majestic, off in the distance, Over the roof tops we float
Am
Above the dreams of a suburban night, We snuck out while my parents slept, Take a
ride and we
[Verse 2]
Am
We ride our bikes to the bay, Take a walk of the wharf, Sit on the edge and light
a ciggie like a torch and
C
You turn and you talk to me, I'm looking away, I'm listening to every single
thing that you say
G
You say "The future's bright man, tomorrow is ours, And there will come a day
soon where we leave this town"
Am
The clouds they start to gather and we get up and leave, And we're home before
the dawn even touches the trees
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm saying, It's more than with your own life you are playing
G Am
And I understand you, My friend, I've fucked up too, But I'm just saying, yeah
I'm just saying
[Verse 3]
Am
We always said that these suburbs were like cemetery, You always said you'd
escape that's what you said to me
C
You got away, not in the way that you thought, Now I'm walking along old tracks
and I'm looking for yours
G
And in the middle of similar looking scenes, As I step off from the gutter and
gather the things I need
Am
Midnight light makes the night life look lifelike, The antennas and tennis
courts, this town is menopause
[Verse 4]
Am
And yeah I know my way around, and I could play it down,
The streets are like the back of my hand And memories abound
C
but now it's different, I'm different, the difference is that I visit,
I don't stick around, I don't even miss it,
G
I get a vision of a version of my highschool days, Most weekends you would spend
at my place,
Am
Your face is in these streets and it haunts me now, That's why I struggle when I
head homebound
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm saying, It's more than with your own life you are playing
G Am
And I understand you, My friend, I've fucked up too, But I'm just saying, yeah
I'm just saying
[Verse 5]
Am
You always had your own rhythm, To keep the comedy coming,
You were as close as a brother man, I think of you often
C
How you talked with a passion, How you rationed you cash, You stood six foot tall
above the rats
G
You had a habit of thinking you were the Smartest motherfucker in the room And it
was generally true
Am
On the real you were a hero, A friend of the highest order,
A companion when the girls that we chased Were all we thought of
[Verse 6]
Am
Whoever you are, wherever you're from We all get given time then it's time to
move on
C
One day you're in the midst of it, The next you are gone, And if you think it's
different to that you're wrong
G
Life's an addiction, we're all in the nod, And it's a beautiful dream so dreamer
dream on, Breathe in,
Am
remember everything from the start, The end is the beginning, the beginning is
past
[Verse 7]
Am C
First thing I noticed was just how thin you'd got now the powerful mind that you
once held was lost
G
And in the little corridor out of the corner of my eyes,
Am
I saw your eyes close, the tired lines on your face grew
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm saying, It's more than with your own life you are playing
G Am
And I understand you, My friend, I get fucked up too, But I'm just, but I’m just.
But I’m just, but I’m just,
Am C G
but I'm just saying, but I’m just saying, yeah I’m just saying, that I understand
you, cause I get fucked
Am
up too, yeah I’m just saying, I’m just saying.
[Outro]
Am C G Am
